Therfere, it is ebvieus" gth sleeve I14. This action will sense the arm tl'y "e enesideor teeth 20 upon its lower sunface. This base 19 extends through an opening 21 formed through the lower end portion of the arm 15, it being noted that this with a tooth 22 extending into the opening 21 thereof, for engaging a selected tooth 20 of the base 19. A projection 23 extends at right angles to the upper end of the clamping yoke 18 and has a foot 24 extending at right angles thereto. This foot 24 rests evenly u on one surface of the arm 15, while an adusting screw 25 passes through this foot 24 and is carried by the arm 15. Thus it will be seen that the clamping yoke 18 is adjustably supported upon the arm 15. A chisel or other implement or tool 26 which is to be sharpened may be inserted through the frame by being passed adjacent one surface of the arm yoke 18 as shown in Figs. 2 and 3. An approximate adjustment of the yoke may be obtained by pushing inwardly upon the lower end thereof, thus moving the base 19 through the opening 21 thus causing the teeth 20 to ass over the. tooth 22 until the yoke 18 is rought into engagement with the tool 26. If the yoke is not binding upon the tool 26. a further adjustment may be obtained by rotating the adjusting screw 25. It should beunderstood that when the tool is inserted between the arm 15 and the yoke 18 the foot 21 should be spaced slightly rom the arm 15. Therefore in final adjustment, when the adjusting screw 25 is rotated the foot 24 will be moved toward the arm 15 thus bringing the yoke 18 into a binding engagement with the tool 26 for firmly supporting the same in an adjusted position on the tool supporting frame.

It will be noted that the tool 26 is thus carried adjacent the emery wheel 6 asshown in Fi 1. The tool maybe tilted to bring the e ge thereof into engagement with the periphery of the emery wheel and as the emery wheel rotates it is obvious the tool will be sharpened. To bring the end of the tool into correct alinement with the periphery of the emery wheel 6 it will be seen that the bar 10 is adjusted upon the upper end of the bracket 7, the inclined upper end of this bracket allowin the bar to slant upwardly at a proper ang e to support the tool in engagement with the emery wheel. The arm 15 015 the supporting framemay be adjusted on the bolt 17 as above specified and then finally the tool may be adjustably mounted to project through the supporting frame. The manner in which the yoke 18 is supported allows tools of various sizes and shapes to be easily supported therein to engage the emery: wheel, while the connection of the tool with the frame adjacent the upper or lewer end of the yoke will allow ed es f difl'erent angles to be sharpened on t e ends of various tools, while the bracket 7 arm is provided" 15 and through the clamping.

may be moved closer to or farther away from the emery wheel 6 to allow tools of various lengths to be accommodated.

When the device is not to be used it is obvious the bar may be detached from the bracket 7 while the supporting frame may be removed from engagement with the upper end of the bar and thus the several portions in a disassembled condition may be placed in a tool box conveniently carried while occupying only a minimum amount of space. It will therefore be seen that a very eflicient tool holder has been provided which will adjustably support beveled edged tools in proper position to be engaged by an emery wheel, various sized and shaped tools being efficiently supported by the frame. The simplicity of construction also minimizes the cost of production of the device and will also reduce the possibility of any of the working parts becoming out of order when the device is in use.

The foregoing description and accompanying drawings have reference to what might be considered to be the approved or preferred form of my invention. I desire it to be understood that I may make such changes in the construction, combination and arrangement of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may prove expedient and fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. A tool holder of the class described comprising a bracket having clamping means, the upper end of said bracket being beveled to be inclined, a bar resting upon said bracket, means for adjustably binding the end of said bar upon said bracket, the upper end of said bar having a sleeve, a tool supporting frame including an arm having an eye, a bolt passing through said eye, and said sleeve for adjustably mounting said tool supporting frame upon the upper end of said bar.

2. A tool holder of the class described, comprising a supporting means, a support ing frame connected to said supporting means, said frame consisting of an arm hav ing an opening extending therethrough adjacent its lower end, said arm being provided with a tooth extending into said opening, a clamping yoke having a base extending at one end provided with teeth, said base extending through the openingof said am, a projection extending at right angles to the opposite end of said yoke and terminating in an angular foot, an adjusting screw passing through said foot and being connected to said arm, whereby a tool may be inserted between said arm and said yoke and be firmly clamped by the engagement of the yoke with said arm. 7

3. A tool holder of the character de scribed, comprising a bracket having clamp' ing means, the upper end of said bracket being beveled off to be inclined, a bar resting upon said bracket, means for adj ustably binding the lower end of said bar upon said bracket, thus causing the bar to be held in an inclined position, and a tool supporting frame adjustably mounted upon the upper end of said bar and extending substantlally at right angles thereto whereby the tool su portmg frame will be held inclined to t e erpendicular whereby tools carried there- {7 may be held inclined in substantial para lelism to the bar, as described.

4. A tool holder of the class described, comprising a supporting means, a tool supporting frame connected to said supporting means, said frame consistin of an arm having an opening extending t erethrough adjaeent its lower end, a clamping yoke havm a base extending at one end provided with teeth said base extending through the opening whereb the teeth thereof can engage the arm wit in the opening, a, projection extending at right angles to the opposlte end of said yoke and terminating in an angular foot, means for connecting said foot to said arm, whereby a tool may be inserted between said arm and yoke and he firmly clamped by the engagement of the yoke with said arm.

In testimon whereof I affix my signature in presence 0 two witnesses.
